Vomit and Nice Guys

I'm having a brief moment of energy, so I thought I should post a little something. I was so blessed to have my old college roommate, Lori and her two youngest kids come to visit this weekend. We had such a great time visiting, letting the kids play and letting ourselves make some fun cards to give away. Lori is very creative and led Kat and I through the project like an expert.

Sunday was a tough day at church. It was my last meeting with the discipline committee. They wanted to meet with me before they met with Chris that afternoon. It was hard and emotional, but it brought the weirdest sense of closure for me. I feel very relieved that that part is behind me now. That afternoon after I passed the kids off to Chris, I started to feel not so hot. I had a sore throat and my whole body ached. OH NO! I can't have the flu! I've had a flu shot already. Well, sure enough in the middle of the night I started to throw up. I continued in this fun up and down pattern all night long. I got very little sleep. The next morning I called to cancel all my classes. Do you know what Chris did? You're not going to believe it. He took a personal sick day so that he could care for the kids for me all day up until bedtime. I was able to rest in bed and catch up on my missed sleep. Not only that, he brought the kids to the house that morning to see me. They brought me hot tea, Tylenol and flowers. Sweet huh?

Well, I'm thinkin' that the worst is over, right? Well...not at all. My throat got worse and worse to the point where it felt as if it were swelling shut. I was so blessed to get a dr. appt this morning with Dr. Cindy. Just as I feared! Strep throat! I haven't had strep throat in years and years. Man, does it hurt!!

Dr. Cindy sweetly hooked me up with all my meds right there in the office, even some medication for pain. That should do it! If you think about me, pray that tomorrow morning when I wake up I will feel well and full of enough energy to go teach my short little classes. I plan on being super cautious not to touch the kids. Chris and I already had planned for him to have the kids all day so that that could be his make-up time for not seeing them this upcoming weekend. I'll probably have to rush home after I teach and fall in the bed.

Stay well all of you out there! I wouldn't wish this on anyone! I plan to post tomorrow or the next day about our fun fall party that I hosted last week. Sooooo fun!
